Week of December 3

     December is here and Christmas is coming up.  Our classroom is already decorated a little bit.  We have a tree that we will be decorating each day for Advent.  We will read a story each day and then hang it on our tree.  The students already made their Advent wreaths on Friday and we will light our first candle on Monday.  As the month goes on the students will be adding their own writing and craft projects to the room.

     This week we will be talking about Advent during religion class.  In Superkids, we have been talking about long and short vowels.  We will be continuing to work on identifying long and short vowels in words.  In math the students will be identifying odd and even numbers and working some more on telling time to the hour.  In Science, we will continue to learn about the states of matter - solids, liquids, and gases.  This week we will also be talking about castles in our Super-Duper magazine and the students will be doing an art/writing project with castles.

     On Thursday, we will be going to the Field Museum.  We will be able to see the dinosaurs there along with some other fun interactive things.

     Monday is the last day to bring in food for the food drive.  Unit 6 Spelling test will be on Tuesday, Dec. 4.  On Friday, Dec. 7, we will be having our reading test on Units 5 and 6.
